This year, the SpongeBob Comics Annual-Size Super-Giant Swimtacular charts a course for the future in science-fictional dystopian yarns like 'Mermaid Man 39,616 AD,' 'SpongeBob ConsumerPants,' 'Bikini Bottom Wasteland,' and 'Planet of the Squids.' They're all framed by a piratey tale drawn by comics legend Ramona Fradon! Plus, enjoy Patrick's singular vision of things to come in 'The Future is Wow' by James Kochalka, and a back cover pinup by Jake Parker (Missile Mouse) showing all your underwater pals as maritime mechanical robots!
